An alley in Chicago

This picture was painted before 1952, when the artist lived in Chicago. Kiaulėnas copied the vibrant colourful brushstrokes from Impressionism, and skilfully rendered the impression of the open air. He used an expressive style of painting to fill the image with vital energy, anxiety, and the elation of artistic creation. He was one of the most outstanding émigré masters of colouring, well able to match contrasting colours, and his art was close to that of the Paris school.

P. Kiaulėnas, a professional architect and painter, was familiar with the work of many artists in European museums. He loved Titian and Rubens, and even held four solo exhibitions in Paris. His painting is unusual and Impressionist. He painted landscapes in clear colours, and still lifes and figure compositions, which in terms of their artistry rivalled the work of experienced professionals. Kiaulėnas was one of the most productive and most famous émigré artists.
